INTRODUCTION. 


This  is  one  of  a  number  of  lists  upon  topics  of  current  interest  which 
have  been  compiled  to  meet  requests  by  letter.  So  far  as  it  could  be 
distributed  at  all  it  has  hitherto  been  distributed  in  typewritten  form. 
The  applications  have  become  so  numerous  that  it  has  now  been  reduced 
to  print,  so  as  to  be  available  for  more  general  distribution. 

It  has  no  claim  to  completeness,  nor  does  it  even  attempt  to  exhaust 
the  resources  of  this  Library  on  the  subject.  Its  purpose  is  merel}- 
to  present  some  of  the  authorities  of  interest  to  the  general  inquirer. 
The  special  investigator  must,  of  course,  go  much  further.
